Press release Undercover sleuthing in a noble household - Discover Secrets of Burnham House by Bethany Swafford March 6, 2026

Can uncovering the truth restore a family’s honour—or destroy another?

London, March 2026 – dp is delighted to announce the re-release release of Bethany Swafford's much loved Regency Rumours under the new title Secrets of Burnham House, a captivating historical mystery set against the backdrop of Regency England.

In Secrets of Burnham House, readers meet Juliet Sinclair, a determined young woman desperate to clear her family’s name from rumours of treason. When a twist of fate sees her mistaken for a lady’s maid at Burnham House, Juliet seizes the opportunity to go undercover. As she gains the confidence of Mrs. Burnham and her daughter Eugenia, Juliet delves deeper into the dangerous web of secrets surrounding both families—racing to reveal the truth before history repeats itself.

A compelling blend of intrigue and elegant period detail, Secrets at Burnham House offers readers a fresh twist on classic historical fiction. “I fell in love with the Regency era when I first read Pride and Prejudice at thirteen,” Swafford tells us. “For me, life is already full of little mysteries, so it wasn’t that difficult to weave a larger mystery into a historical setting.”

Juliet is a heroine shaped by loss and purpose, and Swafford relished crafting her journey. “She goes from being a sheltered, grieving young woman to one who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself and learn the truth,” Swafford explains. Describing Juliet in three words? Determined. Clever. Loyal.

Perfect for fans of Regency romance, historical suspense, and courageous heroines, Secrets of Burnham House promises to enchant and surprise.

Secrets of Burnham House is now available for pre-order on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. The official release is set for 19th March—we can’t wait for you to uncover the truth!
